It looks like the critically-acclaimed sleeper hit Psychonauts by Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions (for the first Xbox, PS2 and PC) will finally get some love it deserves: the latest update in Double Fine Productions website features banners for their two current gaming projects. Of course, Brütal Legend for the PS3 and Xbox 360 is featured in one of the banners, while the other one bears the silhouette of Psychonaut's main character, Raz, with the message "Coming Soon" stamped on top.

The banner is just a mere teaser, and Double Fine's website doesn't offer any more details about their plan to revive their top-notch title. As there isn't much details to work on regarding this matter, we still can't give you a clue as to even just for which console this will be appearing in, although Eurogamer is guessing that the new Psychonauts title will be most probably for the Wii.

But don't you worry. You can trust us to sniff out more news, so stay tuned!

The industry-focused leg of the Games Convention at GCDC 2007 will take place">Leipzig is expected to break its previous record of 650 attendees, after Leipziger Messe GmbH announced through press wire that the registered attendee tally for the 2007 event has hit 850 attendees. The Games Convention Developers Conference (GCDC) will take place on August 20-22, just before the consumer and retailer exhibition.

 

Hailing from 35 countries all over the globe - 60 percent from the North American and UK regions - participants have the opportunity to witness the delivery of more than 80 event keynotes from over 120 speakers. And representatives from their respective industry segments - namely handheld, mobile, console, PC, Mac, and online markets - will expound on visions, themes and issues relevant to the industry's times.

Although much of the planned discussions will be focused on the industry side, there will also be discussions on how society and political bodies can properly recognize the gaming industry, and the significance of associations representing the game industry to the outside world.

And in another note, Leipziger Messe has particularly named Tim Schafer of Double Fine Production (Grim Fandango, Psychonauts) to deliver his keynote speech entitled "Games and Creativity," adapted for the new age of game development. If memory serves us right, Schafer and his studio has been secretly at work on a game project under Vivendi's revived Sierra Entertainment label.

It was claimed to be titled "Brutal Legend", but that has been under question for some time since it was retracted. But if former Leipzig revelations are were groundbreaking, then you may count that fellow blogger Schafer will spill more details on his ambitious "labor of love."

The 2007 Games Convention Developers Conference opening remarks will be delivered by none other than the Chairman of the European Games Development Forum (EGDF), Fred Hasson. More GC and GCDC news coming your way, before the Leipzig-filled week begins next Monday.
